Illegal (1955)

Poster for Illegal

He was a guy who marked 100 men for death - until a blonde called 'Angel' O'Hara marked him for life!

A hugely successful DA goes into private practice after sending a man to the chair -- only to find out later he was innocent. Now the drunken attorney only seems to represent criminals and low lifes.
